He had some interesting things to say about the state of the media, society, and investigative journalism. Here is an insightful quote related to the president: "The bottom line is, when you got a guy like this, you have to remember, this is the guy, reviled for his ignorance, seemingly, and his lack of respect for most norms. This is the guy that took down fifteen Republicans, with an accumulated political experience of about 300 years. He put down two dynasties. The Bush dynasty. And the Clinton dynasty. And so to sell him short is a big mistake. He's not a moron, and I just think it's [a] big mistake for the Democratic party to keep on attacking him for his lies and misstatements and his obvious inability to plan. And [the Democrats] better offer middle America something. They lost that election because the white working class walked away from them...So I think the Democrats have to come back, to stop yipping about it. They're playing into his hand with the tweets. They're playing in his ballpark. Why do that? Just go write about what he wasn't doing. And write about what's going on in the communities because of the changes in regulations his people did. There's a lot of stuff to do."
Some good stuff in this article.
Postscript: I used this method of quoting this long piece because otherwise it would come out jumbled.
